debut is a taut, morally thorny
thriller with a timely edge.

and heir (Brit Marling), by his
wife (Susan Sarandon) and by
his business associates. When
a bloody error results in the
death of his mistress (Laetitia
Casta), he attempts a coverup with the help of a young
friend (Nate Parker), but the
investigating detective (Tim
Roth) smells dirt. Will Miller’s
crimes be punished or will his

High-flying new Indian film brings healing touch to Gujarat
The Indian-American director
Prashant Bhargava is making
waves at international festivals

which tells the story of a family

“What touched me about Gujarat was the way people handled

tragedy – riots, natural disasters.
And kite-flying played such an important role in providing that momentum to persevere,” said Bhargava. “Kite-flying was a purifying
experience for them.”
In the film, a successful Delhi
businessman takes his rebellious
daughter on a trip back to his
Monday, June 11, 2012 www.thenational.ae
childhood home for the festival,
where they end up confronting
their fractured relationship.
The cast is made up of non-actors; Bhargava did a three-month
acting workshop with them. “I
would tell them to roam around
town for two weeks, do whatever
they want to find their character.
Go to chai shops, listen to people,
watch how they spoke. That was
the way we worked,” he said.
Born and raised in Chicago,
Bhargava has previously directed
music videos and commercials,
evident in the film’s lyrical and
visual qualities.
“For the first time, here’s a film
showcasing Ahmedabad in a
positive light, not the riots,” he
said. “It’s very Indian in roots,
very musical.”
Patang has screened in festivals in Berlin, New York, Hawaii,
Washington and Granada. It will
be shown in cinemas around the
US on Friday. – IANS

ú 3. Omi Vaidya to direct
thriller
ú 4. Karan Johar talks new
dance gig
ú 5. Sharman Joshi: I’m
here for the long run
The actor Omi Vaidya, who is
best known for his performance
in the 2009 comedy film 3 Idiots,
announced he is directing a psychological thriller that he may also
star in. “It’s very different from
what I’ve done so far, but I don’t
want to give the concept away,”
said Vaidya. “It has got some big
names attached to it. I might act
in the film, too.” Born and raised
in California, the 30-year-old New
York University graduate moved
to Mumbai in 2009 intending to
direct a film, but ended up starring in 3 Idiots, which won him
acting trophies from the IIFA and
the Screen Awards. – IANS
The filmmaker Karan Johar, a judge
in the celebrity dance reality show
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, says although
he’s not a dancer, his experience
behind the screen has made him
understand the art form. “I have
shot about 50 songs. Dance is
integral to Indian cinema,” Johar
said. “It’s not about rules, but
the passion you bring.” He will
be joined by the actress Madhuri
Dixit (pictured with Johar) and
the choreographer Remo D’Souza
on the panel. “While Remo is the
master of his craft and Madhuri is a
master executor, I’ll talk about the
concept and the energy the artists
bring to the table.” – IANS
Sharman Joshi, who makes his
lead actor debut in the forthcoming film Ferrari Ki Sawaari, says
he intends to make 10 quality
films in his career. “I’m not here to
prove anything to anyone except
to myself. I want to be part of at
least 10 great films in my career as
an actor. I think Ferrari is going to
be one of those,” Joshi said. “I’m
here for the long run – 30 to 40
years is the minimum you should
expect out of me.” Ferrari Ki Sawaari, about a boy who dreams
of becoming a cricket player, is
directed by Rajesh Mapuskar and
will premiere in Indian cinemas on
Friday. – IANS

The film was aggressively promoted

The Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has praised for Sheikh Nasir’s
spoof film Malegaon Ka Superman, about the ill-effects of tobacco,
tweeting: ‘Saw it. What a fantastic film! Really loved it! Go for it!’
Sheikh Nasir had June 29 all figured
out. He gathered more than a dozen of
his friends, family and colleagues and
rode a bus to Mumbai, about four hours
away from his hometown of Malegaon.
Nasir travelled from the small town, a
mill and textile city, to attend the commercial release of a documentary film,
titled Supermen of Malegaon, which
chronicles his pioneering role in Malegoan’s tiny, low-budget but popular
spoof-film industry known as Mollywood.
Years back, Malegaon’s power loom
economy took a hit because of power
cuts and a lack of decent wages. By
sparking a mini cinematic revolution,
Nasir, 35, was the cushion that softened the blow of economic depression
in the film-crazy town. Predominantly
Muslim, it is divided by a river – with
the Hindus on one side and Muslims
on the other.
It all began 13 years ago when Nasir
picked up a small VHS camcorder. A
self-confessed movie junkie, he owned
a video parlour that screened popular
Hindi movies, as well as Jackie Chan,
Charlie Chaplin and James Bond titles
for the townsfolk. He also made posters, by hand, of all the films that he put
up for screening – posters of city life, of
Arnold Schwarzenegger and other beloved actors.
Not surprisingly, his regular, excessive diet of movies seeded an ambition
in him to become a filmmaker. So
Nasir started to take Bollywood
super hits and gave them his
own spoof storyline and
wacky dialogue. He would
get his neighbours to act
in them and edited the
footage in his friend’s
studio.
His first movie, titled
Malegaon Ke Sholay and
released in 2002, was a hilarious take on the 1975 cult action-adventure Sholay. Nasir shot
the film on his camcorder with a budget of 50,000 Indian rupees (Dh3,300).
He quips he made a couple of lakhs off
a movie that he produced on a lark.
Nasir’s Molly wood is now several
films old: Malegaon Ke Karan Arjun,
Malegaon Ka Ghajini, Malegaon Ka Rangeela, Malegaon Ka Don – and the list
goes on. In 2009, he and his crew decided to go off-shore, to Hollywood, and
make Malegaon Ka Superman. It is the
making of this movie that the director
Faiza Ahmad Khan chose to document
and celebrate in Supermen of Malegaon.

Before Sheikh Nasir founded Mollywood,
the forgotten town of Malegaon escaped
a dreary existence via its small video
parlours and theatres.
There were and still are Bollywood fan
clubs everywhere, especially dedicated
to certain ever-popular actors.
On Fridays, after the prayers, there is
a stampede to the cinemas. According
to the Supermen of Malegaon
filmmaker Faiza Ahmad
Khan, the first Agneepath
film from 1990, starring
Mithun Chakraborty and
Amitabh Bachchan,
remains a favourite and
is still played regularly
in Malegaon.
In fact, she relates, fans
of Charkraborthy will sit
together on one side of the
cinema, while the Bachchan
fans are on the other – both
groups competing over who can cheer
the loudest whenever their idols appear
on the big screen. Some even set off
actual fireworks inside the hall. Outside
the screening rooms are signs that say
“Pathake le jaana mana hai” (no firecrackers in the theatre).
Chakraborthy’s fan club even has a
headquarters, a little space of worship
plastered with his pictures and a TV that
plays only his films. Its members all sport
his haircut and dress like him.

(2002)
Sholay (1975), by far the
most popular film in India’s
history, is a quintessential
revenge action-drama replete with violence, guns,
songs and romance. The
satirical version changed
the name of Gabbar Singh,
one of Hindi cinema’s most
singularly malevolent
villains, to Rubber Singh
and the female lead was
Basmati instead of Basanti.
• Malegaon Ki Lagaan
(2004)
Based on the 2001 film
Lagaan, which told the
story of a village oppressed by high taxes, set
in a time when India was
still ruled by the British.
The movie’s centrepiece
was a cricket match that
would decide whether the
small town would have
to continue paying high
taxes. Malegaon’s spoof
version features a British
ruler who forces the vegetarian Indian maharaja to
swallow an egg, and if he
doesn’t, then his village’s
power supply would be cut
off and the taxes would
triple. The king refuses and
a cricket battle ensues.
• Koi Hil Gaya (2009)
Back in 2003, Koi... Mil
Gaya, starring Hrithik Roshan, screened to packed
theatres as one of Bollywood’s first “alien” movies
– it was based on a story
similar to Steven Spielberg’s ET. The cute and
cuddly alien in the original
movie used sunlight as its
fuel and Nasir’s parody had
the alien creature dependent on chicken tikka and
vada pav (a popular Maharashtrian snack). Playing
the lead role was Mahmood
Shah, the town’s Roshan
lookalike who, in real life, is
a painter.

SPOTLIGHT ON SOUTH KOREA
ART MEETS ART:
CHRISTO AND
JEAN-CLAUDE
Christo and the late JeanClaude are famous for
transforming the ordinary
into the fabulous with grand
and playful art installations.
Though years in the making,
their works have always been
impermanent.
Thanks to the great
documentarians Antonio
Ferrera and Albert Maysles,
we can re-experience their
daring vision. ADFF brings
you, for the first time in the
Arab world, the opportunity to
meet Christo at screenings of
Nomad of Art and The Gates.
ADFF is proud to present
two prestigious Lifetime
Achievement awards
to two iconic actresses
representing the cream
of Arab and international
different from typical Hollywood
fare. This small, tight-knit industry
demonstrates rich diversity,
originality and the ability to please
audiences and critics alike. Our
selection includes films that have
marked a breakthrough in popular
and critical acclaim, including Park
Chan-wook’s Joint Security Area,
Kim Ki-duk’s Spring, Summer,
Fall, Winter… and Spring and Kim
Jee-won’s The Good, the Bad and
the Weird; as well as new works
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring
by some of today’s most exciting
directors: Choo Chang-min’s
Masquerade, Hong Sang-soo’s
In Another Country and Jo
Sung-hee’s A Werewolf Boy.
THE SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE: ALGERIAN CINEMA
The Battle of Algiers
In celebration of the
50th anniversary of postindependence Algerian cinema,
ADFF presents a programme
in association with the Algerian
Agency for Cultural Outreach.
The selection includes two
landmark films that put
Algeria front and centre on
the international stage: Gillo
Pontecorvo’s The Battle of
Algiers and Costa-Gavras’ Z, both
of which garnered Academy
talent: Sawsan Bader, star of
the landmark 1999 Egyptian
independent drama
Closed Doors, which will
have a special screening
at the Festival; and Italian
Awards and had a strong
influence on socially conscious
films around the world. Also

films that inspired a national
Algerian cinema: Chronicle of the

the Baton by Ahmed Rachedi;
and the delightful comedy

Korean filmmakers. The last
decade has seen exponential
growth of the country’s share
of the international box office
